anon012012··on Study finds bullies have more children than non-bullies
Color me naive, but isn't it simply more pleasant to have sex with a manly bully than with a "nice guy" pushover? Do we need to explain further? I guess, we can study the extent to which pushovers are being pushovers, but it should not be surprising that they are being pushed over to some extent.
anon012012··on Chat with GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini simultaneously (I call it Multi-Model AI)
I realized that some AI answer better to some things than the others, I was always switching from one to another, so I had the idea to merge all of them in one single conversation, to piggyback and have them collaborate.

It is a bit raw (I have to fix Python formatting for one thing), but it works, and it is free, and it is open source!

I hope you like it, guys. (and gals),

Pierre

anon012012··on Show HN: Create mind maps to learn new things using AI
(TOK dev here.) Thanks for the linking. I'm sorry I could not keep it glorious (that is free and login-free). I got spammed by bots and I don't have time to discriminate so I made it BYOK and kept it at that. My idea deserves a better execution than this and so I don't mind if other people go at it. All the best.

BTW, related to learning AI software, I'm working on something else... Calling it "InfoRush AI" for now, it looks like that: https://imgur.com/0tncarJ This is Python, BYOK, FOSS. Multicolumn synchronous browsing... orchestrated by the tree of knowledge. Going beyond and beyond. I'll post it on HN soon, (when it's done).

anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
A message to everyone: Thank you for your interest and comments and mails and votes and feedbacks. I am sorry the service was interrupted & down & I had to makeshift with ugly donation links in a ugly sidebar for hours, ect (I got 5€ donation! not crazy but it was actually useful)...

Anyway I managed to get it back running, and running strong! Mail me if you have nice words to say or if you think we can do partnerships. I received nice proposals already, which should improve the service significantly in the coming days. The goal is to entertain and educate, and as free as we can! haha, modestly. Thank you again for everything!

anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Very cool website! Adding visuals dynamically is costly and complex, but I'll try harder.
anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Thanks. I'll implement it in a few hours/days.

I switched from Claude to GPT Mini and it seems to cost less. Wait & see!

anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I'll hit you up soon. I am very busy until 16 september
anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
It is back and running, and running strong! Enjoy. Your game is nifty maybe it'll give me ideas. There could be an option to hold Ctrl to split branches vertically without branching down, ect... cool
anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Good idea mate I'll probably include a Amazon "search list" for books, and a video "search list" for Youtube, ect... Might be cool. If I try to provide direct links I get a lot of false results but I didn't think of adding web searches themselves.

(There was a feature to generate dissertations on whatever topic but I had to turn it off because I believe it was abused and that cost a lot of credits. I'll try to add it more securely very soon.)

anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Thanks. I had tried that but the AI keeps inventing false books or providing fake URLs. When the AI will be proper I will include that feature, for sure!
anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I'm sorry guys but my API key is out of funds until tomorrow's or maybe tuesday's paycheck. I'm only a student and so my money is very limited. I'm sorry this is pathetic. I didn't expect to have so much trafic these last few days, and then with this thread. Come back soon!

What do you think that I implement BYOK (bring your own key), does that interest anyone so that it is never down for them but they have to pay Claude on the side? Is anyone interested?

anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
You're a legend mate I know nothing of what you say, but it is very interesting. It is time I brush up my skills and I thank you very much for the clues! I'll look it up.
anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I agree with you. Truth is this was the first branching generation which I generated, and so I kept it for the sake of history. If you manage to create a better "starting branching tree" which looks nice and feels nice then I might take you up on this.
anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Hi cyrillite. Send me an email with "subbing" as object: pierre.treeofknowledge@gmail.com Then I will gladly send you what I got, whenever I get it. I will not forget. Thank you, friend!

I'll probably make a full blog soon for added convenience. (it'll be about AI products & production)

If you want a bite of some of my other work here is a AI game I made & which got totally ignored: https://lywald.itch.io/the-fall-of-mankind I tried to monetize it, that was a bit lame, but in the next few days I'll release it as free.

anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Thanks, fastneutron! I might give you the code if you send me an email and you explain your intentions. No problem. For now, it is not full blown open source because I don't want the added headache of managing that (double checking security & quality... I have no time for this is a sideproject).
anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Thanks!
anon012012··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I am working alone on https://tree-of-knowledge.org

This is a hierarchical representation of any given piece of knowledge.

It starts with a tree root node that you specify (let's say Kung fu), then it branches out into multiples subcategories (techniques, styles, philosophy, weaponry, ect...) and then you can click on these subcategories to branch out even more into the graphical tree.

This is all generated on-the-fly with Claude 3.5. There is no limit to what knowledge you might explore.

The killer feature is that it is totally free and does not require to login. Just click the link and have fun. I'll keep it free like that, as long as I can.

I hope you like it guys because it is the best project that I have up my sleeve.

Enjoy!,

Pierre

anon012012··on Show HN: Learn Blender shortcuts with lots of tiny videos
Beautiful!

Instead of adapting to Anki, you could add your own JS script to this page, which picks a random sample from the array of tiles, highlight it in white, and you need to press the corresponding shortcut to go to the next sample (using a dictionary). You could memorize the time-to-press to generate a finale score (if you're motivated to do so).

I had implemented that algorithm to memorize videogames shortcuts. This could be a nice challenge for your skills! Maybe you could make another page for "VS Code" and that'd be niiiice.

anon012012··on Show HN: Infinite Knowledge Taxonomy (by AI), for free at tree-of-knowledge.org
Thanks
anon012012··on Show HN: Infinite Knowledge Taxonomy (by AI), for free at tree-of-knowledge.org
Done!
anon012012··on Show HN: Infinite Knowledge Taxonomy (by AI), for free at tree-of-knowledge.org
Send me an email and in a few days/weeks I might make it open source, I am considering it. In the meantime maybe you'll get a peek. It's nothing interesting, though. Fast to replicate for an intermediate programmer.
anon012012··on Show HN: Infinite Knowledge Taxonomy (by AI), for free at tree-of-knowledge.org
Thank you! This is much kind.

1) You can use "the reproduction of snails", or "Call of Duty mastery", or "Learning Chess > Chess psychology > Visualization techniques"... There is no end to what you can learn. The sky is the limit!

2) Thanks I'll fix that at the next update, if you mean the grey colour of the box.

3) This is a revolutionary tool because you can see how a domain is organized, so you can catch in one glance what you can learn, and select the most interesting to you, with very high Signal to Noise ratio. This is probably better than Wikipedia when it comes to strolling around the fields of knowledge. This is a bit preposterous to say, but I say it. To add it in a academic workflow, you just type the name of your related domain, and don't be afraid to be very specific. TOK (tree of knowledge) will give you most pertinent information to help you understand and grok all of the complex information for you. I'll add a feature soon to generate quizz/coursework for any given node. Stay tuned.

I'm happy I got only 4 upvotes because I couldn't handle a heavy load for now. And I'm thankful for these upvotes. The website will stay up for the time being. If one day it is down, send me a email and I'll give you the code.

See you!

anon012012··on Tor: From the Dark Web to the Future of Privacy
And this is why governmental privacy is unethical... All should be open to peer review. For the people, and for the world.
anon012012··on Avoid blundering: 80% of a winning strategy
They say "you need to fail to succeed". The key thing is that it is not enough to fail, you also have to reflect on why you failed, and this is the reflection which has you progress.

It is not the failure itself which is progress, it is the act of failing, then feeling BAD, and then thinking about how not to feel BAD anymore. Failure without feedback is pointless failure. (This is the same idea than deliberate practice.)

anon012012··on Music album was made by AI (and you can make your own)
The album is titled "Couleurs".

I asked Claude AI to describe colors as sounds, and then I fed the description to suno.ai

The result blew my mind... And it's only the first try.

Go and make your own!

anon012012··on More people should write (2012)
I actually composed a free ebook about writing advice from many major writers.

Hopefully this should help.

anon012012··on "Daily Dash": AI-Penned Daily Journal on Global Issues
This is released today, November 7.

A pre-alpha of a AI-authored journal. Shamelessly inhuman.

I hope you will find it curious. I'll have to let GPT wrangle with the marketing.

"Kick back with the latest edition of Daily Dash, where AI meets journalistic flair to bring you musings on everything from the ethics of AI in healthcare to the nuances of cyber geopolitics. Whether it's pondering AI's role in creative arts or untangling the complex web of climate change adaptation, our AI authors blend data with narrative to offer you a fresh, multidisciplinary perspective. Join our community of readers to enjoy a side of digital intellect with a daily dose of knowledge."

It's not very polished as a side-project, but I'm eager to release for feedback. There will be a release every day, and starting with 8 releases pre-available. I don't have used the new GPT4 Turbo so expect improvements in the context window in the coming weeks.

Thank you

anon012012··on Recursively summarizing enables long-term dialogue memory in LLMs
Technically you can reduce any amount of bits to 1 bit if the compressor/decompressor agree about what informations that bit means. So there would be the full data on client-side/server-side, and you can "communicate" the finale desired data with solely 1 bit. (it's like the blockchain algorithm)

This sounds trite/heretic but it is as fundamental in its nature as the concept of "incompressible data". I agree that you cannot spare any data in the absolute, but I argue that you can communicate information with less bits than the data holds if the peers and the "model" incorporates knowledge about what kind of data is being transmitted.

anon012012··on Use GPT as a branching statement within any of your Python scripts
Hello, people. I am releasing this project which is a tool to branch logic according to GPT. Very simply put. The code is not very clean (I'm bad at meticulousness).

I am not releasing it for production use, but as a proof-of-concept. I could not find it elsewhere. I hope you will find it as useful as I do. There is "if", "while", and "match". All of them powered by GPT API.

It is true, I did not test it extensively because I'm excited to share this with you guys!

Hopefully, you will be as excited as I am to play a little with this.

Thanks
